russian strikes on kyiv killed at least 17 people and wounded 44, in one of the deadliest attacks on the capital this year. zelenskyy said the attack included 24 ballistic missiles, four zircons/oniks missiles, and 115 drones, targeting warehouses, infrastructure, and a railway station.
zelenskyy pressed partners for more ballistic missile interceptors, arguing delays cost lives. he also called for new sanctions on russia's missile production. ukraine has been pushing for domestic production of patriot systems, but trump said on july 30 he hasn't decided on allowing that.
ukraine hit more wildberries warehouses as part of a campaign to raise the war's cost for russia. one drone crashed into a sorting center in the tula region, according to governor dmitry milyaev, with no casualties. wildberries' marketplace accounts for roughly 3% of russia's gdp.
why it matters: deadliest kyiv attack this year underscores ukraine's air defense gap as it strikes russian e-commerce.
